Research activity in the laboratory for inertial confinement fusion in ENEA-Frascati

Abstract

Research on the use of nuclear fusion for energy production is carried out at ENEA mainly in the Frascati Research Center with laboratories dedicated to the study of magnetic confinement (Tokamak FTU) and inertial confinement (ABC). This paper summarizes the on going experimental programs and diagnostic development related to the studies of laser produced plasmas. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
